General Safety Rules for All Battery-Operated Sprayers
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.

Save These Instructions

• Keep your work area clean and well-lit.
• Do not operate a cordless sprayer in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Cordless Sprayers create sparks, which may ignite dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a cordless sprayer. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• CAUTION: To avoid electrical shock do not touch or insert any foreign objects into the nozzle.
• A cordless sprayer with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
• Use a battery-operated sprayer only with the specifically designated battery pack. The use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a cordless sprayer. Do not use a cordless sprayer while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• A moment of inattention while operating a cordless sprayer may result in serious personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is in the locked or OFF position before inserting the battery pack.
• Carrying a sprayer with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch ON invites accidents.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always comply with any requirements for protective clothing, goggles, gloves, facial masks, or respirator required by the formulation label.

Formulations

• Most water-based chemicals are suited for machines. Questions? Call 952-843-5100
  Do Not Use This Cordless Sprayer To Apply Flammable Liquids.

• To clean the sprayer use soap, water, and a damp cloth wipe clean. To clean internal components run water through the sprayer for 3 minutes.

Important Safety Instructions for Battery Packs

Your cordless sprayer uses a Victory Innovations, 16.8 Volt Lithium-Ion battery pack. The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow the charging procedures outlined.

CAUTION: The battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated.
Do not disassemble, store in extreme heat or cold. Keep away from children. Do not disassemble.
Do not dispose of it in the fire.
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery or remove any component projecting from the battery terminals. The battery and charger have no user-serviceable parts. Fire or injury may result from tampering prior to disposal, protect exposed terminals with heavy insulating tape to prevent shorting.

DANGER: Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.
If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert it into the charger. Electric shock or electrocution may result.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry batteries so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place batteries in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.

CAUTION: The battery pack must be securely attached to the cordless sprayer. If the battery pack is detached, personal injury may result.
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery pack can explode in a fire.
Charge the battery packs only with a Victory Innovations charger.

DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (40°C), such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer.
Damaged battery packs should be recycled.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools, and the like.
The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) prohibits transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage)
UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. When transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

Important Safety Instructions for Battery Chargers

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety instructions for battery chargers. Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the charger, battery pack, and product using the battery pack.

DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts are present at charging terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the charger.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Victory Innovations rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst to cause personal injury and damage.

CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean.
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the one noted in this manual. The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging Victory Innovations rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and cord.
Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

Recommended Minimum Wire Size for Extension Cords:

Total Length of Cord
25 ft., 50 ft., 75 ft., 100 ft., 125 ft., 150 ft., 175 ft.,
7.6 m, 15.2 m, 22.9 m, 30.5 m, 38.1 m, 45.7 m, 53.3 m,

Wire Size AWG
18, 18, 16, 16, 14, 14, 12

Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.
Do not operate chargers with damaged cords or plugs — have them replaced immediately.
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.
Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.

NEVER attempt to connect two (2) chargers together.
The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120 or 240 Volts) with proper country plug.

Manufacturer Recommendation: Use clean water when cleaning your professional electrostatic backpack sprayer

Cleaning Electrostatic Sprayers

All users follow safe cleaning practices to protect themselves from harmful exposure when cleaning the sprayer.
It is recommended that users should purchase a second tank to wash out cordless electrostatic sprayers to prevent residual solution build-up. Disconnect the storage tank from the sprayer and use the black threaded cap that is included. Disconnect storage tank from sprayer uses the
locking threaded cap to secure tank and solution when not in use.
Review chemical MSDS sheet on how best to secure and store your chemical solution when not in use.

Cleaning Nozzle
If your nozzles become plugged soak in hot soapy water and blow out with pressurized air to remove the blockage.

Example below: Nozzle #1 (Dirty) & Nozzle #2 (Clean). Nozzle #1 has not been properly cleaned after being used. When not properly cleaned, residual chemical deposits build up on the sprayer nozzle. Deposit build-up results in decreased bar pressure and decreased spray patterns. The recommendation is that a full tank of water is sprayed through the unit after every few days of use to rinse any residual chemical build-up to reduce the chance of blockage.
